Two local charities, The Lewis Foundation and the Northampton Town Community Trust, are teaming up on 11 July for their first ever ‘Walk to Remember’ in Northampton. The walk, taking place at Upton Country Park, will be accessible to all with the aim of creating a safe and active way to remember loved ones, family members and friends who have passed away.
Lorraine Lewis, CEO of The Lewis Foundation, said,
“This walk is about bringing people together to remember loved ones, share stories and show support for one another. At The Lewis Foundation, we see every day how important compassion and kindness are for people facing difficult times, and we’re incredibly proud to be partnering with NTFC Community Trust on an event that reflects those values so strongly. We hope the community will join us this July to walk in memory, in support and in solidarity with families across Northamptonshire.”
Danny Brothers, Fundraising and Events Manager at NTFC Community Trust, saw first-hand the impact of The Lewis Foundation’s work when his Dad, Graham, was in hospital receiving cancer treatment and he received some of the special hospital packs that they put together. It inspired him to work with Lorraine and the team on this walk and he added:
“The Lewis Foundation helps so many people across Northamptonshire and we’re proud to link up with them for the Walk To Remember. At NTFC Community Trust, one of our key missions is to expand the impact of community work across Northamptonshire in the name of the football club. Dad was a huge Cobblers fan so this will be an ideal chance to remember him as well as many, many other fans and friends we’ve lost. We hope this will be a fantastic tribute to so many.”
The walk will begin at 11:30am (registration from 10:45am) will be followed by a family fun event at the park and inside the Elgar Centre with all money raised through registrations and sponsorship to be split between the two charities. All participants will receive a free front of shirt clip-on name sheet where they can add the name of the person they’re walking in memory of.
